Filtering Transfers

CuteFTP allows you to set filters that automatically include or exclude files from transfers. You define the filters in the Filter dialog box, then apply them to individual transfers, or use them on all transfers. You can also use filters during folder synchronizations.

To transfer filtered items

Click in the pane displaying the files or directory to which you want to apply a filter.
On the main menu, click View, then click Filter (or press CTRL+L). The Filter dialog appears.
On the Filter Properties tab, click Enable filtering.
If you want to filter at the folder level, select Apply filtering to folder names. If a filter you add matches a folder name, the entire contents of that folder are included or excluded along with the folder.
If you want the filters to work during transfers, select Apply to file transfers.
On the Filter Mask tab, type a mask, then click Add to add files you want to include.
On the Filter NOT Mask tab, type a mask, then click Add to add items you want to exclude.
Click OK.
Click the files that remain visible, then click File, Upload Advanced, then click Upload filtered (or Download filtered if you are downloading.).

You can configure two filter sets: one for the local pane, and one for the remote pane. Note that CuteFTP applies the filter parameters to all of the contents, directories, and subdirectories displayed in that pane.
Filtering works with folder synchronizing.
You can filter by file extensions, for example, .htm, .php, .asp, etc.
